New Horizons F.A.Q. – Ask Questions Here!

[Knopekin]

had a scroll through and nobody's asked this recently, sorry for being dumb:

how much have they changed the villagers-moving-out mechanism from nl? can they decide to move out and, if you don't talk to them, will they just up and move anyway? or do you have to tell them to leave during a thoughtbubble conversation?

also, can you get multiples of a villager's photo? i've got pictures for nearly all my islanders now, but no duplicates and idk if they've changed this or i'm unlucky

i can answer the latter question. you can get multiple photos but it's involvement to get it is as intense as the initial. According to other's there a cooldown of 30-40 gifts before obtain the additional. I have gotten four framed from Flora.

I've never play NL so I would know the first Q.... hopefully you get an answer.

Moving out is much better than in NL in the sense that villagers will no longer move away on their own. You have to talk to them first, and you have to specifically give them confirmation in order for them to move (the option to deny them is always the top dialogue choice, the option to have them move is the bottom choice). If you don't talk to them, they won't just move on their own.

thanks so much!! i worded my question terribly, but that's exactly what i wanted to know, and i'm SO glad they changed it! no more anxiety about turning my switch on for the first time in a week!!

It's 64 gifts before you have a chance to get another one.

Can you pay off the initial mileage loan and then refuse to upgrade your tent? I want pro designs for my tent dweller.

Yes. You have to request the house upgrade from Nook to get it; it is not automatic.

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

Yes. You have to request the house upgrade from Nook to get it; it is not automatic.

Yea I figured that as such. It stinks that they put that JUST out of reach. I figured something else out however.

Is the dialogue less repetitive in NH? I'm trying to decide which villager personality I'll want to repeat but this was a big issue for me in NL.

The dialogue is super repetitive in NH. Very limited! I recommend having no more than two of each type because when you have three or more, it's too much! That's just my opinion, though.

sorry if this has been asked before (i’m on mobile so i can’t do ctrl+f ) but can a random campsite villager ask to replace your newest villager? i found ankha in my campsite but the only villager i’m willing to part with is vesta and she’s only been living here for a few days (she’s not in boxes or anything though)

Yes they can.

Yes they can.

thank you!!

I’ve wondered this since the GameCube days. When writing a letter, do you add extra spaces so that a word doesn’t get cut in the middle without a hyphen? Do you add a hyphen? Or do you add extra spaces until it goes to its own line - which way is “right” and gets read properly by the system?

Since the Gamecube days, I personally use a line break if a word would get cut off and they've always read it just fine. You should know though that letters don't increase friendship at all (at the moment) and are just for fun/the miles achievement.

Where can I find my native flower?I don’t remember it.

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

Where can I find my native flower?I don’t remember it.

It depends on your birth month. It should be the first flower seed in your nook store. I would suggest taking a mystery island tour but the sister flower (determined by month the game was set up) can also appear.

How do the item variants work in ACNH? In NL you could get the different variants by just taking an item to Cyrus and asking to change it but on ACNH it sounds like they're separate items?

Your nook will always sell the same variant. Redd will bring in different variants. You can also get different variants from shaking trees and popping balloons
